Tusmørke

Balderdom Tusmørke

The day belongs to the night. The four songs on side A came about in November 2022 for a winter solstice celebration at Oslo Badstuforening. Our take on this was that the solstice invites reflections on the relationship between night and day. Does the day spring out of the darkness of the preceding night or does the night follow and swallow the light of the day? Is it Saturday Night or Sunday Morning? Are we running from the past or catching up with the future? Moving from A to B, Lidskjalv has existed as a demo since the 90s. Many versions have been made, but this is the first proper recording of the song. And just as the new and better world with Balder’s resurrection from Hel only comes AFTER Fimbul and Ragnarok, so each album goes through this phase, in its becoming, of struggle, adversity and slowing down to imperceptible glacial movement. For fans of Magma, Høst, Van der Graaf Generator, King Crimson, Black Widow and Wobbler.
